    Cyberpunk. They fixed most of the issues the game had at launch. There’s a dlc coming out soon too that will add a bunch of hours, and with it they are reworking loads of mechanics for free. Can’t recommend it enough.

      The problems I have with cyberpunk stem more from the story. It’s depressing and has no real happy ending, just an array of at best bittersweet possible endings. Maybe the new DLC will fix that but otherwise it’s a bit too much art imitating life for me.

        Ahh I love that part. Feels like a nice change of pace that the best ending (for me) is open ended with a little bit of hope. Don’t want to spoil for anyone else reading which ending I mean, but I like that it doesn’t wrap up in a fully positive way

          See I like that one, I just wish it weren’t the happiest option. Bittersweet is great for movies but for the best option in a video game that you pour hours into, it can be a bit of a letdown.

      Cyberpunk for me as well. When it first came out, I played it on a GTX970 and enjoyed every moment of it. Low settings, low frames. Ugly as fuck, but still high tech, still low life. Even with all its issues, it was the first game in years where I completed the story. And then did it again.

      I recently upgraded my video card along with a 4K monitor and tried replaying the story, but haven’t made much progress because I usually just walk around and look at all the pretty. Yesterday I spent well over an hour in one of the clubs looking at NPCs, walls, and tables. 10 minutes of it was staring at blinking lights on circuit boards inside a floor panel.

          There’s so much variation… I do the same, wandering around at night, just looking around.

          One time I found myself in some dilapidated area with oil derrigs (the big pumps idk wht they’re called) and it was all foggy, almost monochrome. mud everywhere.

          It was so beautiful.
